Rosh Fucked
Rosh Pina ( ראשפינה ) is a municipality of High Galileo, located at 2km in the South-east of Safed, and holds early product of the villages installed in the North of Israel.
History
Rosh Pina is founded in 1878 by a group of pioneers originating in the town of Safed. The latter acquire, of their personal money, half of the grounds of the Arab village of Jaouni , and baptize the place Gaï Ouni . With the great dissatisfaction with the Rabbi S of Safed, these young pioneers want to live ground, but without depending on financial aids of the Juifs of Diaspora.
Their lack of experience in the field of agriculture, the heat wave which falls down three years lasting on the area and the paludism which makes rage bring to démentèlement establishment. They send then a delegation in Europe to obtain from the assistance, but the sums recovered pécunières, mainly at Sir Laurence Oliphant, remain still insufficient vis-a-vis their needs. It does not remain then any more of the group of origin but two inhabitants in the village.
In 1882, Rumanian association Sioniste for the installation in Ground of Israel by the work of the ground repurchases one second time the grounds, which makes it possible a new group of pioneers to be reinstalled on the place that they rename " Rosh Pina" , term drawn from the Psalm 22; the idea being that the first stone posed with Rosh Fucked will be the beginning of future constructions. The first time, these young people place in the Arab village close, the authorities Othoman refusing to them are very allowed to build. In 1884, the baron Rothschild takes the village under its cut and made there build a workshop of silk weaving. Following the disagreement which develops between the pioneers and the representatives of the baron, and with the world-wide crisis of the market of silk, the workshop is closed. The tensions with the representatives of the baron are such, that Rothschild, in 1900, stops its financial support, and transfers the village under the responsibility of the organization " Yika " (יק " א). In 1923, Rosh Fucked, like the whole of Jewish establishments of Israel, is now chapeautée by the organization " Pika " (פיק " א). In 1899, the teacher Yitzhak Epstein founds the first school of the country there.
Before the independence of the state, Rosh Pina makes function of place of transit for the Jews of Syria fleeing their country of origin, but also of lodging house for the future founders of the surrounding villages, which are Biria, Néot-Mordéhaï and Amir. Y also remains a group of the movement Betar (בית " ר), of which one of the members, Shlomo Ben-Yossef, will be the first condemned and carried out by the British agents. It is in the fields of Rosh Pina that the agronomist Aharon Aharonson, in 1906, creates the wild corn . In 1927, the professor Guidon Sea bases in the village a laboratory, which will be made thereafter know universally, for research on the Paludisme.
As of years 1970 with 1990, Rosh Pina attracts many young people, of which many artists and thinkers. In parallel, of new districts are built and the old working of the village is restored (it is presented today like model of establishment pionnière of the time). The tourist branch is developed there, including/understanding rooms of hosts and restaurants, and it represents from now on a big part of the economic resources of the inhabitants. In collaboration with the municipalities of Hatzor and Safed, a technological park is created on the grounds of the village. Not very many is those which live today of agriculture.
